In the situation, once again, several factors need to be examined. In this aspect, this study focused India. The term “coalition” springs from the Latin word on the following: ‘coalition’ that means ‘to go’ or ‘grow together’. Therefore, it means that associate act of coalescing or uniting into one body or alliance. It indicates the mixture of variety of bodies or 1.

  • Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2019/05 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty March 2019 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee, Amory Gethin, Thomas Piketty* January 16, 2019 Abstract This paper combines surveys, election results and social spending data to document the long-run evolution of political cleavages in India. From a dominant- party system featuring the Indian National Congress as the main actor of the mediation of political conflicts, Indian politics have gradually come to include a number of smaller regionalist parties and, more recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). These changes coincide with the rise of religious divisions and the persistence of strong caste-based cleavages, while education, income and occupation play little role (controlling for caste) in determining voters’ choices. We find no evidence that India’s new party system has been associated with changes in social policy. While BJP-led states are generally characterized by a smaller social sector, switching to a party representing upper castes or upper classes has no significant effect on social spending. We interpret this as evidence that voters seem to be less driven by straightforward economic interests than by sectarian interests and cultural priorities. In India, as in many Western democracies, political conflicts have become increasingly focused on identity and religious-ethnic conflicts

  • Jayaprakash Narayan: an Idealist Betrayed
    Jayaprakash Narayan: An Idealist Betrayed M.G. DEVASAHAYAM Jayaprakash Narayan addressing a public meeting at Sitabdiara during a visit to his village on November 5, 1977. Photo: The Hindu Archives. The imposition of the Emergency in June 1975 by Indira Gandhi led to a general uprising across the country under the leadership of Jayaprakash Narayan, popularly known as JP. It also brought together strange bedfellows—the socialists and the Jan Sangh, the political face of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). In this personal epitaph on Jayaprakash Narayan, former civil servant M.G. Devasahayam, who was "the only person who had unrestricted access" to the late JP when he was prisoner during the Emergency, explains how the JP movement fizzled out due to what he terms the "betrayal of the RSS". Prelude The150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi commenced on October 2, 2018 with all solemnity and is being celebrated across the country. October 2 has become an iconic date known to even kindergarten kids. October 11 is the 116th birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan, popularly known as JP. If Mahatma Gandhi is the architect of India’s first freedom in 1947, which was extinguished by Congress supremo Indira Gandhi on 25/26 June, 1975, it was JP who got us our second freedom after defeating Emergency in 1977. While Gandhiji won it from a tottering alien rule, JP had to take on and defeat the might of an entrenched domestic despot with vast resources and armed with draconian Emergency powers, reminiscent of Stalinist regime. In gratitude, common people called him the Second Mahatma.

  • Boctor Oc $Fitlofi(Opf)}>
    STATE ELECTIONS: A STUDY OF 1996 ASSEMBLY ELECTION IN UP ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor oC $fitlofi(opf)}> IN POLITICAL SCIENCE BY SAN]EDA WARSI UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF Prof. M. ASMER BEG DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2008 ABSTRACT Uttar Pradesh, a relatively backward state, has been important in India's politics since independence. It has always played a decisive role in the formation of the government at the centre as it used to have 85 lok sabha seats. It is India's fifth largest state with basically an agrarian society. After independence, leaders tried to politicize these peasants and convert them in their vote bank. Rich peasants from upper castes dominated U.P. politics for a long period. Uttar Pradesh has a heterogeneous society which' is divided into different castes and communities. Hindu and Muslims are the two important religious groups. Muslims have so many sects and Hindu society is divided into many castes and sub-castes. Brahmans, kshatriya and Thakurs are upper castes, Kurmi, Yadav and Lodhis are considered as OBC's; Saini, Prajapati and Pal are MBC's while Jatav, Chamar, Pasi, Kori, and Dhobi are considered as scheduled castes. Different political parties try to manipulate these social cleavages and make sectarian appeal to mobilize voters. Congress has always been a dominant party in U.P, except a notable exception of 1977 U.P. Assembly Elections. Congress ruled U.P. for almost two decades after independence. It was known as an upper caste party as a result of upper caste domination.

Emerging from the Emergency: women in Indira Gandhi’s India, 1975-1977 Gemma Scott Doctor of Philosophy in History March 2018 Keele University Abstract India’s State of Emergency (1975-1977) is a critical period in the independent nation’s history. The government’s suspension of democratic norms and its institution of many, now infamous repressive measures have been the subject of much commentary. However, scholars have not examined Emergency politics from a gendered perspective. Women’s participation in support for and resistance to the regime and their experiences of its programmes are notably absent from historiography. This thesis addresses this gap and argues that a gendered perspective enhances our understanding of this critical period in India’s political history. It assesses the importance of gendered narratives and women to the regime’s dominant political discourses. I also analyse women’s experiences of Emergency measures, particularly the regime’s coercive sterilisation programme and use of preventive detention to repress dissent. I explore how gendered power relations and women’s status affected the implementation of these measures and people’s attempts to negotiate and resist them.
